Alex had been acting strange all morning. They were all supposed to have practice but, Alex could barely focus on anything. It was clear to Julie and the boys that something was up.
He sat at his drums, rubbing his eyes. He mumbled something that wasn't audible enough to hear. "Alex, are you okay?" Julie walked towards him, and attempted to touch his head. Of course Alex being, well, Alex. He dodged his head away, acting like nothing was wrong. "Yeah i'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"
"Dude, you've been out of it all day." Luke said.
"Yeah..we think you might be sick." Reggie chimed in.
Alex shook his head. "No, I can't be, and i'm not." Alex never liked to admit he was sick, he felt bad when people took care of him. It made him feel guilty, but it also embarrassed him to come to terms that sometimes it was okay to need help. Julie didn't listen to him and got even closer as she tried to touch his head. At this point Alex was off his drum set and he kept backing away from her, covering his head with his hands.
All of a sudden he started to have a slight coughing fit. He took his arms away from his head and coughed into his hoodie sleeve. Luke, and Julie looked at each other, knowing that this was their chance. Quickly, Luke went behind Alex and grabbed him, restricting his arms so he would be still. Alex stopped coughing, and started trying to get him off.
"Dude! I told you I was fine i-" He couldn't finish his sentence because he was surprised by another bad cough. Julie went up to him and touched his head, he was burning up. "He has a fever." she said looking at both Reggie, and Luke. Without even saying anything Luke plopped Alex onto "his" couch.
"Guys, I told you i'm fineee~" He mumbled slightly, slurring a little due to his sleepiness. At this moment he honestly felt like crap, but he didn't want to give into his friend's care. Alex tried to get up in attempts to show he was okay, his head started spinning and a massive headache started to form. He gripped at his head for a second, then finally layed back onto the couch.
"See Alex, you're not fine, now let us just take care of you for once." Julie said, with a comforting smile. Luke leaned onto the couch.
"Not that you have a choice." Luke stated, jokingly with a big grin.
Alex eyes fluttered a little, he was really tired. "Ugh, okay I guess, but i'm not gonna enjoy it.
Julie clapped her hands together, happily. She motioned her hands to Luke, and then Reggie. It's like they already had a plan for this, which kinda freaked Alex out.
Reggie went into the kitchen to make soup, while Julie went to her room and came back with a blanket.
"It's kinda funny how you got sick considering you're a ghost.."
Alex would of made a snarky remark back at Luke, but he was way too tired and drained. It was weird though that all of a sudden he had the ability to get sick. It scared him a little considering the last time he was sick..well.. yeah.
Without warning Julie placed the weighted blanket on top of Alex. "Jeez, Jules you almost crushed me to death." He stated, obviously joking. He couldn't help but feel comforted by the blanket that was now surrounding his body. It was warm, and fluffy, it made him feel safe and protected..it reminded him of someone.
Willie.
oh no, Alex forgot that he was supposed to hang out with him after practice..
What would he think if he didn't show up? Would he hate him..no, no, of course not it's Willie. He could never hate Alex, right?
This is just a sample of the thoughts that were invading Alex's head.
He slowly attempted to get off the couch without anyone noticing, which worked right until he got to the door of the garage.
"And where do you think you're going Alexander, hm?" Julie called out as she walked towards him. It's like she's his mom. Ugh, and he was so close to going to see his Willie.. Alex missed him..they weren't even official yet, but either way he lo- liked him with all his heart.
"Look, Julie I have plans with Willie and I can't miss that. I know i'm sick, but I just miss him." He definitely didn't want to lie to Julie. She thought about it for a second and gave Alex a small smile, she said, "I know you want to, but you can barely stand up right now." Alex's thoughts were too wrapped up in thinking about Willie that he hadn't even realized the big headache that caused him to lean on the wall. God, he was dizzy.
"But Julieee-"
"No, Alex, go back on the couch."
Alex did what she said and buried his head under the blanket. Mostly, because the light out of the top window was giving him even more of a headache. To be honest he was kinda savoring the time on the couch. Usually no one was allowed to sit on it (except Julie) because Luke had always declared it "his" but, lucky for Alex he was being nice today. Several minutes had passed, Reggie gave Alex his soup which he thanked him for. It was chicken noddle. His favorite, of course Reggie would know that, he always did know that kind of stuff. The soup went down his throat slowly, and once he was finally done he resorted back to being under the blanket.
He knew it was probably the best for him to stay here, because he really wasn't doing the best at the moment. His nose was stuffy, he was pretty drowsy, his head felt like it was about to explode, and his throat felt like it was made of sandpaper. After a little while of Alex staying with his head digged into a blanket, he felt a small wind enter the room. He didn't think anything of it until he heard his voice, his voice that could always make his smile, his voice that sounded like smooth honey.
"Hey, guys sorry for dropping in like this, but is Alex here?"
Luke, who may I add was currently whispering stuff into Julie's ear and making her giggle, looked at Willie and smiled. "Yep, he's right there." He pointed to the big blanket mess that was Alex. "He's sick..weird, right?" Reggie said, as he walked into the studio.
"Sick?..that's a new one." Willie turned to Alex who was already giving him grabby hands from over the blanket. Willie thought this was adorable and practically fell next to him, already in Alex's arms..since, well Alex didn't want to admit this but he's been pretty touch starved. He needed his Willie. Julie gave Reggie and Luke a look, and in a flash they were out of there.
For a good minute they just sat there with their forehead's on eachother, until Alex knew something was wrong. Willie was shaking. It wasn't super noticeable, but it was still something to worry about in his eyes. "You okay, Will-Will?" He titled his head at the slightly smaller male.
"I-yeah, i'm fine. I was just worried that something bad happened to you, I don't want to lose you." He whispered, Willie rarely gets anxious by things, but when he does it's about something really important to him, Alex is important to him. "And You're not going to. I'm right here, and always will be, baby."
Willie looked at him and nodded a little to his words. He felt his stomach fill up with butterflies at the name
baby
"Did you just call me baby?" He held Alex by his waist. They were even closer than before.
"I-I did? Oh um, if you don't like it i'll stop saying it-" Willie cut him off with the words. "It's okay, I think it's cute." Alex blushed profusely, he couldn't help but notice that Willie's eyes kept going to his lips. In response Alex sat up more than he already was.
"Can I kiss you?" Willie asked, he didn't want to just surprise Alex. He nodded and within seconds Willie's lips were on Alex's. They've only pecked eachother on the lips before, so this was definitely new. Alex took his lips off, since he felt the urge to cough, this one wasn't like the other ones. It sounded way worse.
"Oh no, hun you okay?"
"Yeah, i'm fine..i'm sorry we couldn't do something today because I got sick..you don't have to stay here with me if you want." Alex looked down.
"What? you don't have to be sorry, Y'know I like this better than going out because I can cuddle with you all day." He wrapped his arms around Alex and was now basically cradling him. Alex buried his head into Willie's shirt and felt his eyes fluttering a little, he was trying to stay awake the best he could.
"Are you tired?"
"Well, no...yeah, but I don't want to fall asleep while you're here.."
"I'll be right here when you wake up Alex, it's okay."
Soon enough Alex's breathing got slower, and he fell asleep peacefully on Willie, he looked down at the taller male in awe, he looked so cute, and peaceful when he slept. He kept his arms wrapped around him. It almost felt like it was his duty to keep him safe from anything that was troubling him in his sleep.
After awhile Alex started stirring a little, his eyes were half open, he mumbled.
"I love you, Willie."
Willie's eyes widened at this, in response he said.
"I love you too, Alex."
He couldn't help but blush, Alex half smiled and closed his eyes, falling back to sleep, holding Willie closer that ever.
"You might be a stubborn boy at times..but you're my stubborn boy,"
